Boundary-Layer-Transition Measurements in Full-Scale Flight (open access)

Boundary-Layer-Transition Measurements in Full-Scale Flight

Report presenting tests of the extent of laminar flow that can be obtained with practical wing-surface conditions. Chemical sublimation was used for boundary-layer-flow visualization on the wings of a supersonic fighter airplane in level flight. A method of continuous monitoring using heat temperature resistance gauges was also used on one wing.

An Investigation of the Effect of Target Temperature on Projectile Penetration and Cratering

Results regarding testing of steel projectiles fired into copper targets at velocities from 5,000 to 11,500 feet per second, which indicated that as target temperature is increased, the crater size also increases. Twenty-two caliber steel cylinders and steel spheres were used as projectiles.

Boundary-Layer-Transition Measurements in Full-Scale Flight

Chemical sublimation has been employed for boundary-layer-flow visualization on the wings of a supersonic fighter airplane in level flight at speeds near a Mach number of 2.0. The tests have shown that laminar flow can be obtained over extensive areas of the wing with practical wing-surface conditions. In addition to the flow visualization tests, a method of continuously monitoring the conditions of the boundary layer has been applied to flight testing, using heated temperature resistance gages installed in a Fiberglas "glove" installation on one wing. Tests were conducted at speeds from a Mach number of 1.2 to a Mach number of 2.0, at altitudes from 35,000 feet to 56,000 feet. Data obtained at all angles of attack, from near 0 deg to near 10 deg, have shown that the maximum transition Reynolds number on the upper surface of the wing varies from about 2.5 x 10(exp 6) at a Mach number of 1.2 to about 4 x 10(exp 6) at a Mach number of 2.0. On the lower surface, the maximum transition Reynolds number varies from about 2 x 10(exp 6) at a Mach number of 1.2 to about 8 x 10(exp 6) at a Mach number of 2.0.

Altitude Performance of the Afterburner on the Iroquois Turbojet Engine. Coord. No. AF-P-6 (open access)

Altitude Performance of the Afterburner on the Iroquois Turbojet Engine. Coord. No. AF-P-6

"The performance and operational characteristics of two afterburner configurations for the Iroquois turbojet engine were evaluated in an altitude test chamber over a range of afterburner equivalence ratios at afterburner-inlet pressures from 733 to 3186 pounds per square foot absolute. These conditions correspond to an altitude range from 38,700 to 66,800 feet at a flight Mach number of 1.5. The only difference between the two afterburner configurations was in the pattern of afterburner fuel injection. At an afterburner-inlet pressure of approximately 3100 pounds per square foot absolute, corresponding to an altitude of 38,700 feet and a flight Mach number of 1.5, the combustion efficiency of both configurations reached peak values of 0.80 to 0.85 at equivalence ratios of 0.35 to 0.40" (p. 1).

Investigation of a Prototype Iroquois Turbojet Engine in an Altitude Test Chamber Coord. No. AF-P-6 (open access)

Investigation of a Prototype Iroquois Turbojet Engine in an Altitude Test Chamber Coord. No. AF-P-6

"Operation of the original engine configuration disclosed a severe compressor stall problem at high altitude, which was largely attributed to a radial flow distortion entering the high-pressure compressor. Engine modifications for eliminating or alleviating the stall problem were investigated. These included use of variable high-pressure compressor inlet guide vanes, increased turbine-stator areas, and minor alterations in both the low- and high-pressure compressor rotors" (Abstract).

Chemical and physical factors affecting combustion in fuel-nitric acid systems (open access)

Chemical and physical factors affecting combustion in fuel-nitric acid systems

Report presenting characteristic exhaust-velocity measurements made of the JP-4 fuel-red fuming nitric acid propellant combination in 40-pound-thrust rocket engines with various combustion-chamber lengths and diameters. The results are compared to those from previous studies and discussed in terms of a vaporization model of combustion. Results regarding the effect of UDMH, effect of water on performance of hydrocarbon fuels, effect of water on performance of hydrazine fuel, and some of the chemical and physical factors affecting combustion are provided.

Evaluation of Three Injectors in a 2400-Pound-Thrust Rocket Engine Using Liquid Oxygen and Liquid Ammonia (open access)

Evaluation of Three Injectors in a 2400-Pound-Thrust Rocket Engine Using Liquid Oxygen and Liquid Ammonia

Report presenting the performance of three injector types in a 2400-pound-thrust rocket test chamber. Characteristic velocity and specific impulses were obtained over a range of oxidant-to-fuel ratios at a nominal chamber pressure of 600 pounds per square inch absolute. RMI-1 and 2 had fairly similar results, but RMI-3 gave no stabilized data due to combustion instability.
